I prefer not to have this go in -- this is extremely likely to creep
into derivative configs and as such it would have no value (you can't
be sure it's still the same config).
/proc/config.gz is the way to keep track of exactly what config you're
running anyway, right?

Fair enough. Unfortunately we cannot prevent that from happening :-(

Yes, in some convoluted and hard to identify way ;-)
